Pain can negatively affect a person’s quality of life and impede recovery from illness or injury. It can be occasional, acute or chronic, depending on whether the person has had an accident, is suffering from musculoskeletal dysfunction, or lack of movement or mobility.1 It’s important for individuals to consult with their health care provider for a diagnosis and advice on the best treatment options for their condition. One pain management strategy to consider is massage therapy, which recent research suggests may be a helpful aid for manually controlling symptoms in people suffering metastatic cancer and rheuma- toid arthritis, among other illnesses, as well as post-cardiac surgery pain.
